Xbox 360 Price Drop Round up

Microsoft just recently dropped the RRP for the Xbox 360 range, now the range breaks down like this:
£129.99 for the Arcade
£169.99 for the Premium (60gb)
£229.99 for the Elite

Fantastic value.

But even better prices can be had, retailers have discounted beyond the RRP, and put some pretty attractive bundles together. Here is a breakdown of the offers on the table.

Arcade
The Arcade system comes with a wireless controller, a 256 MB Memory Unit and an Xbox Live Arcade compilation disc featuring: Boom Boom Rocket, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor 2, Pac-Man Championship Edition, and Uno.

In my opinion, it is definitely worth paying the extra to get a hard drive, but if you are on a tight budget, the Arcade is still a great buy.

The console on it's own is £119.98.

Here are some of the bundles on offer:

Premium
Since the premium has both had a hardware improvement (20gb to 60gb hard drive increase) and a price drop, it's easilly the best buy out of the range in my opinion.

The console on it's own is £159.98.

Here are some of the bundles on offer:
Xbox 360 Premium (60gb) + 2 Selected games (Dead or Alive 4/Halo 3/Forza 2/Lost Odyssey/Mass Effect/Too Human) - £169.89 delivered

Elite
Up until recently, I would have said the 120gb drive on the Elite was pretty pointless, I couldn't imagine filling a 20gb drive. But with the coming dashboard update which will let you rip games to the hard drive, the space will definitely go to use.

The console on it's own is £219.98.
